Frugal Wall Art


i'm cheap


you should just know that
right now

so when i noticed the huge
blank wall in my dining room
i pondered over
various ideas for how to fill it

i thought of large framed silhouettes of my 4 kids
but frames were too expensive

a vintage school map
but couldn't find any
lovely huge piece of original art
by a renowned artist
for almost nothing

huh

so i was stumped

then we attended a friend's wedding
and inspiration struck

cue angels singing


you know those matted photos
that guests can sign instead of a guestbook?

bingo

i decided to make my big blank wall
a big graphic guestbooks

i pulled out my sharpie and handed it to the first guest
and big brother

who was appalled at the idea
of permanently marking my big, white wall
and nearly refused outright

but i insisted
and i am persuasive

so he placed his john hancock
front and center

others soon followed
more enthusiastically

what fun to write on your walls!
they shouted gleefully

and in next to no time at all
we had ourselves a beautiful wall of signatures

i love it.

the hubs loves it
(no small feat)

and our friends adore it.





best of all?

totally free graphic art

which is good
because

i'm cheap like that
